Where to Find The Most IG-Worthy Xiao Long Bao In The Country

When news of Paradise Dynasty (the home of the famous basket filled with XLBs in the color of the rainbow) coming to the Philippines first came out, I was beyond excited to try it out. You see, I’m such a huge fan of Xiao Long Bao, it’s not even funny.

I’m happy that we now have a lot of XLB places to choose from but it never hurts to welcome another player in the food world! Paradise Dynasty is a casual dining concept by Paradise Group that dishes up an affordable selection of northern and southern Chinese cuisine at seven restaurants in Singapore, with overseas presence in Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan.

Selection of silky handmade la mian

Another highlight of Paradise Dynasty is the wide selection of la mian (hand-pulled noodles) that are freshly made expertly in full view of diners in the open kitchen. I Highly recommend the la mian with sliced pork in signature pork bone soup, la mian with braised pork belly in signature pork bone soup, and the piquant la mian with poached marbled beef in Spicy Szechuan soup!

Their extensive menu also showcases a selection of appetizers that range from chilled assorted eggs loaf in Yang Zhou style to the classic drunken chicken.

Their wok-fried meat, seafood, vegetable and rice dishes are perfect for sharing with family and friends! Some of their bestsellers are the spicy Szechuan crispy chicken and scrambled egg white with fish and conpoy.

I’m seriously in love with Paradise Dynasty. Chinese food is normally something I eat with my parents because it normally requires you to order a lot and the prices are quite expensive. But now, I can finally enjoy scrumptious Chinese food that’s easy on the pocket! Paradise Dynasty has quickly become one of my favorite destinations for Chinese food. I just really hope they open another branch in perhaps Makati or the Fort soon!!!
